THE ODD FELLOW VALEDICTION

I AM AN ODD FELLOW:

I believe in the Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of man.

I believe in Friendship, Love and Truth as basic guides to the ultimate destiny of all mankind.

I believe my home, my church or temple, my lodge, and my community deserve my best work,

my modest pride, my earnest faith, and my deepest loyalty, as I perform my duty "to visit the

sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan" and as I work with others

to build a better world, because, in spirit and in truth, I am and must always be, grateful to my

Creator, faithful to my country and fraternal to my fellow-man;

I AM AN ODD FELLOW!
